Turkish, defo mate. Might be at jap show next year if your there?
Thanks gaz. Hopefully once its back on the road, I will try to get it to a few meets mate.
cliobritt yes mate the ek9 washers were not blocked but the spray was poor. Its the same for all old civics really. The jets dont really...
To be fair i think this debate stems from the fact that most people dont know what an ek9 actually is. If you have not been around hondas then it can be difficult to tell the difference between an ej9 or an ek3,,4 from an ek9. As said most of the chavs you see racing about cant afford to buy a...
matthew- a saxo would be good fun too but not in the same league as an ek9. i have driven a fair few of them and personally i wouldn't buy one. they dont feel as sharp as ek9's and comparing stock with stock the 9 is superior in every aspect from interior, chassis, suspension to the gearbox and...
End of the day the ek9 is not for everyone but isnt the golf more of a 'scene' car? Most of the slammed ek's you see with deep dish alloys and mad camber, arent real ek9's. Infact those cars get slatted on the ek9 forum for being unpractical. Function over forum always. i have nothing against...
gerry from performancetek? both are awesome machines, especially the eg civic, although can imagine the conversion on the jazz being alot harder with alot of custom fabrication.
Re: My new uber camp automobile
loving it mate. One of my mates has got a mk1 aswell and they are great wee things to drive. Maybe slightly underpowered(1.6l) but more than make up for it in the corners with a decent suspension set up.
Thanks for the comments guys :) Yeh danny hopefully once it gets a bit warmer mate will try to get to a few meets. Not been to a cs meet for a good few years now so would be good to make it to one this year. Also would be good to see merks 9 as its a pretty well set up car.
Not much has been happening due to the weather and various stuff getting lost in the post has halted things but did whatever small jobs i could.
Finally got round to changing the bushes on my lower control arms.
When i repainted my rocker cover in the summer i never replaced the gasket...
haha oh well fair enough. Havent personally seen it before so though i would post it on here but cs is too sharp for me haha, but your right enough turkish all his films are pretty impressive tbh.

aye im sure a thread was posted on here not too long ago. Dont think i could live there but would love to spend a few weeks travelling around japan. Very expensive place from what i hear though
i have no personal experience with magnex but most of the people that have had a one rate them highly. They do sound really nice aswell so with the unsilenced b pipe, it should make for an awesome noise.
Aye would love the effortless power of a k24 and would probably work out cheaper than a k20 aswell. Just paid for the hasport solid conversion mounts today so will be on the lookout for more parts for the conversion over the winter.
